The warranty for this watch has
expired on 18th October 2004. To me this might be the
only reason why this really great Citizen model is still in our stock. I do not
really mind, I will snatch it for my private collection at the next possible
occasion - when I am in Hong Kong the next time, that is! Why? Because I would
have gotten one of those for my private collection if I could afford so many
watches. Have a look at the functions below, then you
know why. Also, this is DURATECT Stainless Steel. DURATECT Titanium is pretty
hard already. But DURATECT Stainless Steel is guaranteeing that the watch will
survive many "service nights". Previous customers were indeed from public
services organizations with high risk of scratching or destroying a watch. The
many features and the virtually indestructible surface are the reason, why I am
still eyeing this watch for my private collection. So please hit the back button
of your browser now and look for another Citizen model ;-)
This is a stainless steel watch. CITIZEN's
surface hardening patented DURATECT system of course applies also to steel
watches, although it has been advertised a lot in conjunction with the Titanium
watches. DURATECT watches are much less prone to scratches then regular stainless
steel watches.






The bracelet is really great quality, the smart buttons
and the make of the bracelet reminded me of bracelets of watches that cost
triple the amount of the money!

Case diameter (excl. crown): 39.5
Height: 10
Lug to Lug: 45
Lug: integrated bracelet, great and stunning quality, great buttons, tapered 21
mm to 18 mm

Why I think this
WATCH is interesting:
CITIZEN ASPEC watches are like the ATTESA watches a higher quality CITIZEN
model range that are hardly available outside Japan or Asia. This watch will
make a great all-rounder. Just wear it! Forget about changing the battery,
setting the date! Put it on, and this beauty will show you the time for
decades! Great bracelet with really sophisticated recessed buttons. And one
of the smoothest turning bezels I have come across! A sheer pleasure to turn
or just play with it!
Watch comes with great advanced
features!
-
Overcharge Protection (solar cells):
To protect the secondary buffer battery from not being overloaded
-
Time setting warning: If the
watch is reactivated after it had stopped (e.g. you have too many watches
and have put it into a drawer for at least a couple of months) then the
second hand will jump in two second intervals to warn you that the time is
not correct
-
Power Save Mode 1: If the watch
is not exposed to daylight, the second hand stops while the hour and minute
hand still display the correct time
-
Power Save Mode 2: If the watch
is not exposed to sun light for 3 days in a row, then the watch enters a
"Sleep Mode". The watch will resume the correct time immediately after being
exposed to light.
Is this not a great
watch? It thinks for you, you just wear it, and forget about it being
accurate or showing the right date! |

Details about this Watch
Price: Is firm, my margins are very
small, no additional discounts sorry. See the
CITIZEN overview table for the price
please.
Watchbox and Papers: Picture above is
from actual watch and packaging, International
warranty, dated papers 18th October 2003 which should not be a problem,
given Citizen's legendary quality control. Also Citizen USA is the best
service provider for all Japanese brands I have ever experience. Find
posts of mine regarding this in the Archives of the
Seiko
Citizen Watch Forum, simply search for "Reto". With right
I think I gave Citizen (USA) compliments not only for their great
service network, but also for browsing the Seiko Citizen Watch Forum and
replying to requests there in no time. I know only one watch company
that is similarly alert, that is the "International Watch Corporation"
in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. They have their own brand forum and all
your questions will be answered by IWC employees. That also is first
class customer service in my books.
